GB are of to Megeve in France later this month for the Division 1B tournament following promotion from 2A last season.

Watkins said: “I am looking forward to this game and seeing how the squad play.

“MK are a quality EPL side and will pose a lot of threat and it will be a big test for the roster.

“The World Championship is just around the corner now and this will be a massive help in our preparations.

“Getting the squad together so close to a tournament is a massive bonus for us.”

GB will take on hosts France in Megeve, as well as Japan, Poland, Slovenia and Ukraine from 12th to 18th December 2015.
